Trail Ridge Road had been closed for two weeks and we had just gotten our first snow of the season a few days before Halloween. There wasn't much snow and the ranger at the park entrance made a comment about us coming to see the elk bugling made me think it was still going on.
Actually, yes, a big herd of bull elk. Only one standing in the golden early sun. But they almost never make good scenics once you telephoto to get them full in the screen. They're two football fields away. Both of these photos were snow scene panos (much wider than shown) just to the left of that one elk (Challenge #5) at the same moment.
What a gorgeous scene! I loved the elk photo you scrapped for Challenge 5, and it's great to see more of what the area looks like. I love how you've framed the page, too, and added a smaller photo for contrast.
